Sandon Academy has moved with lightning speed to establish a primary school which will help make the academy a place of complete quality education at all levels.
Sandon Academy Jnr will open its doors for the first intake in January 2019, barely three years after the seniors’ side became operational.
School principal Svodai Kutadzaushe (pictured) said the objective was to give parents an opportunity to have their children completing the whole cycle of primary and secondary education at with the same strong Sandon brand.
“We have deemed it fit to establish a primary school so that children can begin from grade one right up to form six at the same convenient school. Ours is a brand that’s growing in leaps and bounds so we are prepared for the responsibility of looking after a child for 13 years or more of primary and secondary education. Why should a child suffer the instability of a new environment all the time when they can still remain at the same school of their choice throughout?” said Kutadzaushe.
She said just like Sandon Academy Secondary, the primary side will be equipped with equally sophisticated infra
structure and services to allow high quality learning.
“Young minds are the most delicate; they require all the care and nurturing they can get. We want to give our primary pupils the support they want to excel because if you get the foundation wrong, it’s definite you will have a defective structure.
It is better to build your own structure from foundation level right to the top, than to be made to carry over with the work that somebody else would have begun. You want to be responsible for the whole thing not just for part of it.
“The primary school will feed our secondary side and everything will be smooth sailing. Let parents know of this critical development and entrust us with their young children starting this very coming years,” said Kutadzaushe.
Classroom blocks and other structures needed for a full-fledged primary schools are already in place with some minor touch ups due to be completed soon.
